| - Mowry & Cotton, as with the former ILTerrazzo, has a distinct home field advantage being located within The Phoenician.
From the moment you drive through the expansive grounds towards the entrance, you are then greeted by the well-mannered and eager valets as you disembark from your vehicle.
And you walk through the glass doors, and are warmly greeted by James. For as long as we have been coming here, it seems as if James has always been here to usher guests in, and direct them towards their ultimate destination within the hotel.
James stands tall, friendly, professional and respectful. He represents the human equivalent of a digital personal assistant, directing those that may be directionally impaired or are uninitiated.
We've been to IL Terrazzo countless times; therefore, the new establishment that occupies its former place was a known quantity to us. A short ride on the elevator, and we were greeted by a more modern and functionally accessible entrance to the restaurant.
It was later on a Sunday morning when we arrived, and the place was bustling with many groups of guests. The hostesses greeted us and promptly directed us to our table facing the terrace. Providing us with a nice view of the premises, as we had gotten accustomed to over the years.
Nolan, our server, introduced himself on cue. He promptly introduces himself, asks a few questions, and proceeds to take our order.
The atmosphere was vibrant for a Sunday morning; especially with the background accompaniment of the DJ's mashups.
We ordered the House made Hog Breakfast Board, for starters. What an amazing and mouthwatering combination of freshly prepared breakfast favorites. This is a must for those that desire to get acclimated to chef's masterful culinary expression.
If that weren't enough, my wife opted to order the Chicken & Waffles. These aren't the Lolo's chicken and waffles kind. This particular dish is visually striking; as well as, being scrumptious.
I ordered the Buttered Buns. The Buns were freshly baked, and the rest of the accoutrements simply enhanced their flavor.
From start to finish, we had nothing but a first-rate experience.
Mowry & Cotton is certainly a welcome replacement to IL Terrazzo, and an outstanding addition to The Phoenician hotel.
